Wearable devices with added peace of mind

The growing market for wearable technology is transforming the consumer journey. Added functionality, such as mobile payments, access, and remote health checks, are in demand. An experienced partner like G+D supports you in providing these services with secure credential management throughout device lifecycles. G+D drives our wearables solutions with our enablement platform and full range of passive and active products.

Connected, enabled wearables of all sorts are in great demand worldwide. From payment to transit to access, watches, wristbands, even glasses and rings are expected to deliver. For a successful launch, the industry faces market challenges that G+D can help overcome – devices saturating the market with little differentiation when it comes to functionality, and expensive and rather complex deployment. G+D is committed to overcoming these market obstacles so you can optimize revenues and reduce time to market. The G+D powered wearables enablement platform radically increases speed-to-market, while reducing the cost and complexity of market entrance and growth by providing a primary connection point to banks, transit authorities, venues, and other service providers. G+D’s robust backend services hide complex integrations with a multitude of providers, while a thin API and SDK simplifies implementation. Our offering harnesses our extensive experience in payment security, eSIM, and credential management.

Wearables will become the foundation for convenient payments, security, authentication, and trust!

Active devices

Improve adoption and retention with value-added services

Consumers have come to expect connectivity on the go. Mobile devices play an important role in our lives. We rely on mobile services for our payments, transport, access, and storage. And we assume those services are secure – that our data is protected throughout the lifecycle of our mobile devices. We’re accustomed to the ubiquitous mobile phone, and we’re now seeing opportunities to extend our connectivity through connected wearables.Active devices, like smart wearables, carry digital identities via embedded secure elements, which provide both hardware, and software-based security to protect us, no matter where we roam. Over-the-air credential management enables wearable devices to be configured to address multiple use cases within a single device – thereby safeguarding user experiences, which, for service providers and OEMs, improves both consumer adoption and stickiness.

The seamless connection between the smart wearable and the consumer’s mobile phone enables consumers to open and check their bank accounts, transfer money, and conduct other account management services completely over the air. Many wearables also provide biometric data, making it, among other things, possible to distinguish between the rightful wearer and someone who is simply wearing the device. Furthermore, a number of smart wearables are shipped with embedded SIMs, which can be activated from a smartphone allowing autonomous connectivity.

G+D’s passive wearable device provides the convenience and security you need, hassle free. What does this mean for you and your customers? A breath of fresh air in the midst of everyday turbulence.

When it comes to wearables, the possibilities are endless. Whether it’s for the daily commute, running errands, or the concert of a lifetime, our wristband has you covered. We’re making convenience convenient.

Samsung Gear S3 partnership

Recently Samsung partnered with G+D Mobile Security for the launch of the Gear S3. US customers of T-Mobile and AT&T received a high-end smartwatch allowing out-of-the-box connectivity, and a designed embedded SIM module. This project is a significant milestone in G+D Mobile Security’s consumer eSIM strategy, demonstrating eSIM management market leadership. It also further strengthens the relationship with Samsung as the leading smartphone vendor globally.

STMicroelectronics, G+D Mobile Security, and FitPay join forces

The companies have created the first secure hardware and software product for use by device manufacturers aiming to develop integrated payments with Mastercard or Visa. The goal is to break down barriers to implementing card payments on mobile devices, and enable wearable device OEMs to concentrate on product development. This product gives consumers the flexibility to load multiple payment cards from various banks and from different payment networks onto a wearable device, making contactless payments independent of the end-device's operating system.

Wearable devices are transforming the payment experience, and FitPay, STMicroelectronics, and G+D Mobile Security are making it easier to develop payment-enabled wearables.
